E18-D80NK Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor NPN 3-80cm (DuPont)

The E18-D80NK Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor is a highly versatile and reliable active infrared proximity switch designed for smart cars, robotics, and industrial automation. This sensor features a non-contact detection system that combines an infrared transmitter and receiver in a single cylindrical housing. With an adjustable detection range of 3cm to 80cm, it provides precise obstacle detection, making it an essential component for autonomous navigation and collision avoidance systems.

This specific variant comes pre-crimped with a high-quality 3-pin female DuPont connector, allowing for direct, solderless connection to breadboards, Arduino sensor shields, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 development boards. The sensor operates on a standard 5V DC supply and outputs a digital NPN signal (normally open), which goes low when an obstacle is detected. Its threaded plastic body and dual mounting nuts ensure easy installation on any chassis or bracket.

Features:

• Adjustable Detection Range: Easily adjust the sensing distance from 3cm to 80cm using the multi-turn potentiometer on the rear.
• Integrated Design: Combines infrared emission and reception in one compact, durable cylindrical body.
• DuPont Connector: Equipped with a pre-wired 3-pin female DuPont connector for quick plug-and-play interfacing.
• NPN Digital Output: Low-level active output makes it directly compatible with standard microcontroller I/O pins.
• Immunity to Ambient Light: Designed to minimize interference from visible light and external reflections.
• Easy Mounting: Threaded M18 body with dual locking nuts allows for secure mounting on custom brackets.

Package Includes:

1 x E18-D80NK Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor with DuPont Connector
